idk… it's not bad; the author tries to be funny, and the way the story is told is anything if not fresh, and yet… for me it just has not «clicked».

The first half takes forever and nothing particularly interesting happens. In the second half, interesting things do happen, but they take a while to develop.
I think part of the problem is that it's supposed to be humorous, but none of the jokes land so it's quite a lot of filler for very little plot. If it wasn't listed as a comedy by my library, I wouldn't have known it was supposed to be funny.
